With social media spotlighting trends faster than magazines and television ever did, today’s consumers are experimenting with personal expression through a quickly growing phenomenon: fast fashion.

A term surrounding the fast-paced design, creation and marketing of clothing with the goal of circulating maximum income, no matter the cost in the environment, fast fashion’s rise began in 2000.

Since the start of the new millennium, clothing production has doubled according to McKinsey & Company, and while consumers purchased 60 percent more clothing in 2014 compared to 2000, the garments are owned for only half as long.

The appeal of fast fashion ties directly to its trendyness, affordability and accessibility — all traits that interest those on a budget, including students at OU.

Various styles are seen on OU’s campus, and many students, including psychology freshman Chandini Kanderi, have taken advantage of the perks of fast fashion through websites such as Shein,

First, a heartfelt apology to my lovely, tolerant neighbors. Didn’t mean for you to think Armageddon, the Apocalypse, or World War III had begun. It was just the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V-Series I’ve been driving.

You see, when you press the “start” button, the explosion from the exhaust does sound a little like a small nuclear bomb detonating. Or an entire grid-full of NASCAR stock cars coming to life.

Yes, it’s loud. OK, obnoxiously loud. Loud enough to send household pets and small children scurrying for cover. Loud enough to set-off pretty much every alarm in our condo building’s parking garage.

It’s what happens when you shoe-horn a hand-built 682-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8 under the hood of the latest XXL-sized Escalade. And hook it up to exhaust pipes—muffler just isn’t the right word here—roughly the diameter of storm drains.

Here, the “V” in V-Series stands for Velocity, or maybe Vicious,

Jean Cheney has always been a keen op-shopper, but on a recent trip to find bargains in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges she got an unwelcome shock.

“I went to three Salvos in my area looking for a few different bits and pieces, and a pair of women’s boots [was] $40 … didn’t matter the quality, the style, the branding,” Cheney says.

“I have a Kmart in my town and … there’s a Big W and Target. I can buy those products brand new for about that price.”

Cheney is not the only one who has found basic items that might once have sold for a few dollars in a charity shop are now priced at $20 or even $30.

Donna Wilson op shops with her sister every weekend around Newcastle, New South Wales, and has noticed a “frustrating” rise in prices.

“Some shops really do their research, and others sell Kmart

Pick up an espresso and join along for a day of touring the best permanent exhibit, renowned shops and antique and vintage jewelry in the eternal city. You have to sleep and eat and we suggest places for those as well. Let’s start the journey…

Staying in central Rome can cost a small fortune and eat into any funds you have set aside for purchasing a piece of jewelry—there are beautiful hotels but I recommend staying at Roman Holiday Residenza, a super host on all of the Airbnb sites. And yes, it is named after the beloved classic and iconic movie. The price is right and the location is perfect, situated between Piazza Navona and Campo Fiori. It’s a respite of a sleek, ultra-modern,

Ultra-fast fashion giant Shein is launching a resale, despite criticism that circularity can’t fix a business model reliant upon exploitation and overproduction.

Shein Exchange launched on Monday, 17 October, in the US, with plans to expand to other global markets next year. The platform was created in partnership with branded resale technology platform Treet. The app pre-populates customers’ previous purchases to streamline the resale process.

Shein is upfront about its motivations to get into resale — its goal is to bring any secondhand Shein sales that may happen on other platforms back into its ecosystem. In an announcement, Shein said it will not be making any profits from the platform but “acknowledges that resale threatens to cannibalise the sale of new items” and “wants to provide a destination for Shein customers to become active participants in circularity and find new
